"Pendant deux jours, les 26 et 27 novembre 1770, des pluies incessantes s’abattent sur le centre de la France. Elles donnent lieu à d’importantes inondations. Sur l’Indre, la crue provoquent des dégâts importants. Les villes de Cormery, Loches et Montbazon sont chacune à moitié détruites. Les dégâts sont sévères : plus de 30 ponts effondrés, plus d’une centaine d’habitations détruites et au moins autant endommagées gravement. On dénombre au moins 50 morts.

"For two days, on November 26 and 27, 1770, incessant rains fell on the center of France. They gave rise to major floods. On the Indre river, the flooding caused significant damage. The towns of Cormery, Loches and Montbazon were each half destroyed. The damage was severe: more than 30 bridges collapsed, more than a hundred houses destroyed and at least as many seriously damaged. At least 50 people were killed.
